The Rebirth Of The General Who Always Sees Himself As A Replacement

The evil star came to the world, and the crape myrtle was in turmoil. The emperor gave the general Hufu military power, and led the [-] Rongyan army to the northwest where the yellow sand was everywhere, to resist the Xirong tribe and defend the frontier. But this time, the Xirong tribe obviously came prepared. The flames of war raged, and the wars continued, from the beginning of autumn to the severe winter.

On a windy and snowy night, a letter sealed in plain white leather spread quickly from the northwest frontier to the palace and then to the Gu mansion's courtyard.

That night, all the rooms and halls of the Gu Mansion were silently hung with white silk, millet stalks were burning in the brazier, and copper coins and yellow paper danced with the cold falling snow. The movement seemed to be buried on the spot by the heavy snow.

On the second day, Gu Heyan was completely naked, and went to the border non-stop to help the coffin back to his hometown.

The news of Gu Miao's death on the battlefield spread throughout the capital seven days later, and the world mourned and sighed. Without General Gu, wouldn't the Yi people want to invade our territory and trample on the mountains and rivers?

Half a month later, Gu Miao's body returned to Beijing. The mourning hall was set up in the main hall of Gu's mansion, and Buddhist monks were invited to recite sutras before the spirit. After the coffin lay for seven days, it was buried with military ceremonies.

In the previous life, the Mu family had no contact with the Gu family, so Gu Miao's death was just a few sighs between the conversation between the Mu family and his son.

But this world is different, the Gu family has a life-saving grace for the Mu family, so the second day after Gu Miao stopped the coffin, Mu Boren led Mu Zhiming to the Gu residence to pay his respects.

The last time the father and son came, the mansion was quiet on the surface, but it was peaceful and tranquil. Now, the guests are crowded in front of the door, and the mansion looks like dead gray grass.

There are only three servants in Gu's mansion. They have to wait for so many mourning guests at once, and they are too busy. The mansion is in a mess. Mu Boren and Mu Zhiming waited at the door for a long time but no one led the way. They boldly walked into the mansion and went to the main hall. go.

Just now when he arrived at the mourning hall, Mu Zhiming's gaze fixed on Gu Heyan who was wearing plain white linen and kneeling in front of the spirit tablet.

Gu Heyan didn't know how long he had been guarding the spirit, he just knelt there with his head down straight and motionless, as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders but he didn't collapse a bit, he turned a deaf ear to everything around him, as if he was not in the same world as others.

Mu Zhiming originally wanted to comfort Gu Heyan after coming to Gu's mansion, but seeing this situation, he knew that there was nothing he could do.

No one knows the pain, and how can they share the pain.

A Buddhist monk came forward, took Mu Boren and Mu Zhiming to mourn the funeral, and then led them away from the mourning hall. When he left, Mu Zhiming turned around and looked at Gu Heyan still kneeling there, his posture unchanged. It was as quiet as a rock.

"Don't look, let's go." Mu Boren sighed, lamenting the impermanence of this world.

Mu Zhiming withdrew his gaze, his heart constricted. He nodded and followed Mu Boren to leave. The two of them walked to the courtyard of Gu Mansion, when someone behind him shouted: "Duke Yan!"

Mu Boren turned around, bowed after seeing the person clearly: "Master Pei, are you also here to pay tribute to the funeral?"

Mr. Jing Zhaoyin quickly bowed in return: "Exactly, I rashly disturbed Duke Yan. That's it. I have a case in my hand, and the corpse is strange. I heard that there was a famous criminal judge in the ancestor of Duke Yan." , Lord Yan also has a lot of knowledge in this area, this case is urgent, since we met by such a coincidence, I wonder if Lord Yan can give me some pointers?"

"Ah... it's all the glory of the ancestors. I only know a little bit, not a lot, but Mr. Pei loves you so much, I will definitely help you." Mu Boren agreed, then turned to Mu Zhiming and said, "Li Zhu, you first Wait for me in the carriage outside."

Mu Zhiming nodded, saluted and left, and left alone. As he walked, he suddenly remembered that the verdant sycamore tree he saw in the east wing when he came to Gu's mansion before, he didn't know if there was anyone to take care of it these days.

With thoughts in his heart and actions in his actions, Mu Zhiming couldn't help but look in the direction of the East Wing. Just by turning his head, he saw a girl in sackcloth and filial piety holding a stack of documents at the corner of the vermilion wall. , looking anxious to cry.

Mu Zhiming remembers her, she is one of Gu's servants, Juanniang.

Mu Zhiming walked up to Juanniang in a few steps: "Are you okay?"

Hearing the concern and questioning, Juanniang raised her head with tears in her eyes. Seeing that it was Mu Zhiming, she tidied up her appearance in a panic, and said weakly, "I remember you are... ah, it's Mr. Mu!"

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhiming asked, "Do you need help?"

"Master Mu, I..." Juanniang clutched the document in her hand, lowered her head in embarrassment, and hesitated whether to say it or not.

"It's okay." Mu Zhiming comforted softly, "If there's anything I can help with, just say it."

When Juanniang heard this, she seemed to be grasping for help. She choked with sobs and said in shame, "Mr. Mu, these things are originally the private affairs of the Gu family, so I shouldn't have told you. You also know that only my husband, my mother-in-law and my husband are in the general's mansion." My three servants, after General Gu left, the young master was not very old, and we were too busy to handle matters related to etiquette and dignity at the funeral. We didn't prepare anything, another father-in-law came from the palace just now, and gave me such a stack of documents, saying that it was the rules that should be followed when General Gu was buried, including the guests who should be entertained and the gifts that should be returned. The father-in-law said There are a lot of them, I can't hear them! I wanted to ask other people if they understand, but my husband is adding incense to the mourning hall, and my mother-in-law is watching the Buddhist monks' fasting..."

Juanniang became more anxious as she spoke, and she was about to cry again, Mu Zhiming hurriedly said: "Don't panic, show me the document."

Juanniang hurriedly handed the document to Mu Zhiming, and Mu Zhiming realized that something was wrong after receiving it. Although Juanniang had difficulties, he was a foreigner, and Gu Miao's funeral was a major matter for the Gu family.

Just when Mu Zhiming was hesitating, Mu Boren's voice came from behind: "Li Zhu, what are you doing there?"

Mu Zhiming was frightened and subconsciously hid the document in his sleeve.

If Mu Boren finds out about such disrespect, he will definitely scold him for three days, making his ears callused.

Just as Mu Zhiming hid the documents, Mu Boren came over: "Didn't you tell me to wait for me in the carriage outside? Could it be that you have a playful heart again, and your words are deaf to your ears?"

Seeing this, Juanniang didn't say a word about the document. After saluting, she said: "I have seen Duke Yan, and I was very sad just now. Mr. Mu has a kind heart, so come to comfort me."

Mu Boren's expression softened, he no longer held him accountable, and let Mu Zhiming leave with him.

Mu Zhiming took the stack of documents home by accident.After dinner, Mu Zhiming sat alone in the side room looking at the document with a headache, he pondered for a moment, brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone without saying a word, sat down at the desk and spread out the document.

Half an hour later, Mu Zhiming put down the Langhao fine brush, dried the ink marks on the document, then rolled it up and carefully put it in his sleeve, stood up and opened the door of the side room, tilted his head and shouted in the direction of the side room: "A Yin! "

As soon as the words fell, the sleeves of his clothes flew into the air, and with the sound of hunting, Wen Heyin, who was dressed in indigo guard uniform, fell in front of Mu Zhiming.

He has very good ears and lives close by, so Mu Zhiming will come whenever he calls.

"Master, what's the matter?" Wen Heyin asked.

Mu Zhiming said, "I'm going out for a while, you can accompany me."

"Going out at night?" Wen Heyin was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

Mu Zhiming lowered his voice: "Go to General Gu's mansion, we two will go secretly, we must not let my parents know."
